Job Function

Reporting to the Director of Artificial Intelligence, the Data Scientist will be responsible for training and testing machine learning and AI algorithms that solve complex problems in controlled environment farming. You will also be responsible for engineering the process of extracting, porting, and parsing huge amounts of climate data from greenhouses. You will design robust and scalable data models, and define data integrity metrics. The ideal candidate must be comfortable working with scripting languages, and familiar with API and cloud technology.

Soft Skills:

The candidate must be dedicated, focused, and well-organized – analyzing huge amounts of data requires a deep interest in problem space, and the ability to target clear goals and execute plans.

You must be both a forward thinker and a challenge-seeker – simple solutions work most times, other times you have to look at problem upside down.

You must have excellent documentation and communication skills – whether you’re stuck in a problem or have just discovered something amazing, your co-workers (and other stakeholders) will want to hear about it!
